I'm a pretty novice person considering installing opnsense for my personal home use.

Their documentation has what would seem to be incomplete hardware requirement.

For example it does not list any network hardware. I assume you need at least 1 Ethernet connection. I recall reading somewhere that you might need 2 network cards? One for in and one for out?

What about network card specs? I have old computers lying around that exceed the CPU/RAM/SSD requirements but cards are practically antiques. Should I upgrade? If so, to what?

ETA: The best internet I could subscribe to where I'm at is 1024 Mbps down, 50 Mbps up. So don't worry about wasting fibre speeds. :(

Does anyone know about a more thorough description of requirements?

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters More Letters
IP Internet Protocol
NAT Network Address Translation
PCIe Peripheral Component Interconnect Express

3 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 14 acronyms.
